10:54:02,670 INFO [org.alfresco.repo.admin] Using database URL 'jdbc:mysql:///alfresco' with user 'alfresco'.
10:54:02,675 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed

From the log file it seems your mysql user was not able to connect to the DB
in alfresco-global.properties , you have not mentioned the password

 
db.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
db.name=alfresco
db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/alfresco?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-
‍‍‍‍‍

also check from the command line whether you are able to connect to the DB "alfresco" using user "alfresco"
by giving
mysql -ualfresco -pURPASS alfresco
Also cross check whether you have created a database named "alfresco"
when you post the error message please use code tag, if u do so it will be easy for other to check and help

Thanks

Hello,
I have the same problem, and We created the database, freshly, restored with existing backup (we are trying to upgrade alfresco, from 4.2.4 to patch, 4.2.6.1) and I face this issue, after I re-compile the custom Java Classes against Alfreasco 4.2.6.1.
I checked the property file and the UID and PWD are already present.
